Volunteers Ken of Operation Safe Drinking Water and Michelle of The Peace Corps team up to bring safe drinking water to indigenous kids.
Ken of OSDW and Michelle of the Peace Corps get the job done.
The remote indigenous school at Buena Esperanza on the Caribbean coast of Central America starts a new day today. The school now has safe drinking water for the kids and for the school kitchen where their food is prepared.
The rain-catchment tank is hooked up to sixty feet of guttering attached do the school's zinc roof.
Joe Bass, executive director of Operation Save Drinking Water said:
“schools should be centers of learning, not where kids get sick from polluted drinking water. That’s why we’re installing rain-catchment systems at indigenous schools throughout the area.”
A new day for all. Safe water for the kids and for the school kitchen.
One family donated a tank for “their” school.
A group of friends held a pizza party to raise funds to install a tank for a remote indigenous school.
A church held a rummage-sale to send volunteers to install the tanks they donated.
Individuals, families, groups — even businesses — have sponsored a rain-catchment tank for an indigenous school.
Why not you and your family or group?
Six hundred dollars will sponsor a fully-installed rain-catchment system for a school. Sponsors get the name and location of the school, photos of their installation, the GPS position for tracking on Google Earth –and a letter of thanks from school officials.
Safe water is essential for life.
It’s essential for health.
We all need it.
They do, too.
Help share it with those who need it most.
Thank you!
